From early studies on the timing of plant germination and bird migration to the more recent search for the molecular mechanisms underlying circadian rhythms, the concepts of biological clocks and periodicities have been important to many areas of biology, including ecology, evolutionary biology, zoology, plant physiology, animal behavior, molecular biology, and biomedicine. As part of “From Biological Rhythm Studies to Chronobiology: A History of a New Scientific Discipline,” a project funded by NSF SES-0958974 and sponsored by the University of Minnesota Program in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine, this conference aims to encourage research in the history of biological rhythm studies by bringing together historians, philosophers, and biologists to reflect on this subject in a multidisciplinary historical framework.
Dates: May 11-12, 2012
125 Nolte Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA
